Somewhat late to help in the UK, but of possible interest to concerned international players, a new International Airsoft Association has set up shop:
Welcome to CAOC (Combined Airsoft Operations Command), airsoft’s first International Association for the Protection of Airsoft Sports. CAOC is an international players association dedicated to protecting airsoft sports and players rights. CAOC’s goal is to be proactive regarding future legislation like the VCR bill that was recently passed in the UK, by working with local, state, and national lawmakers on an unprecedented scale. We could best be described as the NRA for Airsoft sports. We currently represent players in the US and the UK, and more players are joining us daily from as far abroad as the Philippines.
CAOC was created by a group of highly experienced and highly motivated Airsoft enthusiasts with one goal in mind: to help bring organization and unison to the highly fractured community of Airsoft, in order to protect its future. In an effort to attain and maintain the integrity and differences the sport has opposed to paintball, a step towards advancement of the sport was needed. CAOC is here to bring it to you. Having backgrounds in the United State’s Army’s Special Forces, Air Force Elite Operations, Marine Corps, and SWAT, these individuals have been extensively trained and operated as professionals in the tactics and methods that are behind the combat simulation that comprises airsoft.
Other attempts at National airsoft organizations have failed, due to the lack of a focused vision, as well as the lack of motivated individuals who are willing to do what it takes to protect their sport. At CAOC, we know our goals, and they are the right to enjoy replica weapon ownership and the right to enjoy responsible airsoft play, and our staff, as well as our members will do whatever it takes to ensure those rights. Join us, and help us protect your rights!
By becoming part of our association you will also receive a number of other benefits, such as discounts at major airsoft events, and when shopping for new airsoft equipment at major airsoft retailers, as well as entering a fast growing network of professionals, retailers and serious airsoft players throughout the United States.
